AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MANAGED CARE

The American Journal of Managed Care (ISSN 1088-0224) is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal published in the United States by Managed Care & Healthcare Communications, LLC, dedicated to advancing the fields of healthcare management and policy. As an SCI-indexed publication, it maintains a consistent impact factor in the range of 3 to 4, reflecting its established reputation and rigorous editorial standards within the medical management sector. The journal primarily features empirical research and policy analyses focused on critical issues such as drug economics, insurance mechanisms, service quality, and cost-effectiveness, with a particular emphasis on innovative management models within the U.S. healthcare system. While its geographic focus on American healthcare structures may limit its global generalizability and readers must critically assess potential industry-funded biases, the journal remains a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and industry practitioners seeking practical insights into the intersection of clinical practice and administrative strategy.
